Don't look now but your Pittsburgh Steelers are back in first place

I have concerns with Harmon and Jones being out.

 

That’s a real good point. Steeler fans get incredibly high…..and low……during a short stretch of games. ‘NUMBER TWO SEED!!!’ when we’re 4-1, then we suck when we lose two games.
Steelers fans have unusually high expectations every year. Maybe unrealistic high expectations that you don’t see in any other fan base.
I reply to Steelers haters on compuserve and other boards, ‘May your fan base someday be disappointed when your team doesn’t go deep in the playoffs every year’

 

That’s true and SteelHack used to always say that on this board. “give me the team that’s on a roll and injury free going into the playoffs.”

 

Why
1 is a rookie with little play and the other is a BUST?

My biggest concern is playing a home game in wintry conditions and the away team has better grasp on footing than the home team.

that's how silly our performance can be

 

i remember a couple of months ago some people talking about these teams that have a better chance than we do every year. they are consistent and have so much of a better chance than us. well, well, well as i said then does it matter if you don't win the super bowl? but they have a better chance every year than we do. ebb's and flows. detroit, baltimore, cinci, buffalo, philly, KC, all beatable and struggling. any given sunday. this game is still played on the field, so you never know. i guess we wait and see.

 

The problem is, while some teams are regressing like the Bills, Chiefs, and Ravens, other teams that were at the bottom for a few years are now great teams (at least this year) like the Broncos and Patriots, but the Steelers are still stuck in the middle... It's annoying.

 

Just went through the playoff simulator and there is a real chance that CIN could actually win the division. They pretty much have to end up 9-8 by winning out. Their offense is good enough to do it. Steelers and Ravens then at 8-9.

 

Winning their next game in Buffalo will be hard for them....Buffalo are a complete different team when they are at home...they are like 15-1 at home since last year

 

well
we don't play them there
SHEEEESH

 

I was talking about the bengals.....

 

OH ok SHEESH
I was like "did i base my predictions off the wrong location gotta go change them ?!?!? WTF
Winning in Baltimore is a great confidence boost for Cincy to take care of Buffalo in Buffalo IMO

 

To me, I think the Steelers have the easier remaining schedule vs the Ravens.
